the elk antlers go home with me

Jealous... nice sheds here. Still have over a foot of snow in my yard. Will be a month before things start to open up here.

I am one those who picks up every shed I can. When I was younger I made a tree at my folks' house with all the sheds I found out of a beetle-killed pondersosa stump.
One corner of my garage is full of chewed up, broke, white sheds, and I am looking forward to the day I construct my own tree here. Nothing says, "I find sheds", like one of these trees at the end of your driveway.
Had five bulls run across the road in front of me this morning. Two packing, two growing and one freshly shed. I did watch the 5pt run a couple hundred yards just to see if he would drop in front of me. No such luck.
gotta <click> on pic to see crappy video. Pretty sure I know why I could "see" many sage-grouse this morning.

Had a 4 point bull in the yard this morning and another bull with about 2 inches of growth. Been seeing them fairly regularly together since the 2nd. I'll try and get a picture if they're here tomorrow morning.

my boy tracker found one today.Couple more paddles over the weekend. Thought the one under the tree wa the match to the other white one I posted under a tree. They were only five yards apart, this one must have been under the snow. After looking at them closer, I don’t think they are a match. Funny that a left and right dropped off of nice bulls in the same year that close together

Never leave a shed behind. Some of my coolest ones are the mossy chalky ones. Nice work on the shed everyone. More to be had!

When I first started looking in the 80's I left thousands. Now I take most of what I find, the real old crappy ones I toss into the thick stuff. No need to leave stuff out in the open and give other people the impression they might be in a good spot.

I had to double check the post cause I simply couldn't believe my eyes.

I was convinced his account had been hacked. Was afraid to scroll any further lest there be a big dong pic!

Really enjoy this thread! Lots of great pics. Hoping to get out next weekend to look. Anyone have a tick update in the Breaks?
Well I’m back from a week of shed hunting in Utah with my wife and daughter. I wish I had a picture of a pile of elk sheds to show you guys.... but we didn’t find any. I don’t know how you guys do it. I ran into a guy out there that said “if you ain’t a local and know where the bulls are and when they drop, you’re wasting your time”. That was a bit discouraging, but oh well. Year 3 of looking for elk horns and I’ve got nothing!
The trip was not a total bust though. 5 minutes into looking for horns I found a nice deer shed! My daughter was elated!! At least she doesn’t think I’m a total loser... not yet at least haha!

Keep looking, you are finding something better than an elk shed.
Oh, I know brother! This week was filled with tons of great adventures and memory makers. Bushwhacking and boulder hopping with a toddler on my back, hiking several miles from camp when snow and wind came barreling down, spending several nights in a tent with temps hovering in the low teens (last few nights in an Airbnb - not even ashamed to admit it), catching more fish than I could count, exploring new places, and of course picking up one brown shed. I can’t complain at all, I’m a blessed man.
